One of my favorite pictures from my family session was one where I was consoling my son. He had tears running down his cheeks and I was hugging and loving him. It wasn't planned, he had a meltdown prior, but the most beautiful moment came from it. I still got the smiley and fun ones, but because I trusted my photographer and let the chaos ensue, I got a sweet moment out of it. It's your job to trust me, to breathe, and let the moments unfold. You'll be a happier parent for it. I will guide you as much as you want, from outfit choices, to location options, to hairstyles. I only want you to feel the most at ease you can and trust that there will always be magic created, no matter how messy it all feels.
We can't ever get these times back. Family photos and portraits allow us to look back on our lives and feel nostalgic about how fast it all goes. I honor these precious moments as much as you do.
I will offer you experience, commitment, loyalty, trust, my time, my phone number, my back. You don't just hire a photographer with me - you hire your peace of mind.
I offer you tranquility in a space that can sometimes feel crazy and out of control. As a mother of two wild boys, I can assure you I know the chaos of family pictures and wanting everything to be just perfect. I tell my clients all the time that it feels like havoc and a jumbled up mess to them, but it never feels that way to me, as the photographer. I am getting all the moments. The perfect smiles along with the silliness and the tears.
